LEG CRAMPS AND MAGNESIUM...

[S_Shoshannah 1]

Hey All,

I am supplementing out of the kazoo with magnesium and Calcium. I still get leg cramps if I do not use enough topical magnesium oil directly to the effected areas. Does anyone else experience this? I make my own magnesium oil because if it is too strong, it usually itches when I apply it.

I also take Bone Support which is nano particle so it does not require digestion. I am taking the full amount, then more. I take the amount for severe bone loss because I was having all the symptoms. This supplement also has three times the magnesium as calcium. Then I have the nano-particle magnesium for an instant leg cramp. I can't take the usual oral magnesium supplements because it causes diarrhea for me, and I have Crohn's for six years.

I see people writing in here when they are desperate with bariatric issues. However, is anyone else desperate over magnesium issues? Do you get the leg cramps?

I am wondering if potassium would help...Do any of you supplement with potassium?????? I am going to look for the nano particle or angstrom potassium as well.

I'm having problems with leg cramps too. Lap band on 2/20/15. It just started in the last few weeks. I have been taking Calcium and Multivitamins. I wasn't sure what else to try. I will get some magnesium, maybe try potassium too.

Sue,

I probably an deficient in potassium as well. I actually split a potassium pill in half every morning to help with the leg cramps. That makes it easier to manage. My leg used to cramp up in the daytime but is better with the potassium.
